Hi Larry,
I'm having exactly the same problem: window.close() will only clear the contents of
the window; it won't actually close it.
This has never been a problem doing straight JavaScript and HTML, but it doesn't
function the same way in the ND
environment.
Did you come up with an alternative solution? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Pete
